I have now managed to get it all up and running on my Fedora Core 3, so I know it is not a font problem. I use the same fonts on the Debian-Edu system as on the Fedora Core System. So, I'll be focusing on the console problem, i.e. (I'm guessing) libc. If anyone has any pointers to where I should start, please tell. I use dpkg-reconfigure locales to set up the different locales I use, where ti_ER is one of them (all UTF-8). I then change locale with LANG=ti_ER, and run date to get the funky output you see at the top here. I'll be digging until I find the problem, but would appreciate pointers at any stage. Thank you for all the input so far. -- Vegard Munthe FAIR
